ROLEX ARTS FESTIVAL

CHÓRES took part in two special events during the Rolex Arts Festival 2023, held at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.

Specifically, on Friday, May 26, they participated in the musical performance Artemis: Fountain by Peruvian composer Pauchi Sasaki, as part of the Rolex Arts Festival. This work bridges sound, technology, and female empowerment, with the vocal contribution of the CHÓRES ensemble forming a core element of the live experience.

On the same day, CHÓRES also participated in the Gala Ceremony celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Rolex mentoring programme, honoring with their presence and voices two decades of creative collaboration, support, and intercultural dialogue in the arts, promoted by the international Rolex Perpetual Arts Initiative.

This double participation of the CHÓRES female choral ensemble marked the presence of a dynamic Greek vocal group in a high-profile international event, contributing to contemporary cultural dialogue through music and polyphony.
